From death growls to a man of a million voices - well, 501 to be precise.

Adam Fewster, a 21-year-old 2D animation student at Teesside University, delighted the audience with his impersonations from shows like The Simpsons and Futurama as well as Hollywood stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vincent Price.

Leaving the stage, Adam said: “I’ve been doing it for years.

“I can do 501 all together - I keep a note of all the ones I do.

“I don’t really care about my chances of winning - I had fun today.”

At 13 years old, Abigail Westerman made quite an impact.

Abigail, from Sadberge, near Darlington, stunned the audience into silence as she sang We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off with vocals very mature for someone so young.

“I want to sing as a career and I want people to hear my voice,” said Abigail.

“I would love to get through to the live shows, but if I don’t I’ll keep trying.”

Wendy and Joshua Ashton - a mum and son from Newton Aycliffe - are each other’s biggest fans.
